There is something about the sheer size of Tokyo that stimulates the imagination. Tokyo has a special place in urban fiction. By far the largest urban agglomeration in the world, it is built “atop the junction of three tectonic plates” (Lovgren, 2005) and therefore destined to be destroyed (again) in the future. The Fukushima disaster has reawaken the trauma of devastation and Japan’s ambiguous relationship with technology and progress. Technological advances, particularly in construction and planning, are seen as the only way to secure the city against earthquakes and other natural disasters. Yet, technology has also demonstrated its extreme destructive potential when it gets out of control. Tokyo fiction has often played with the dystopic fantasies of a high-tech future, ultimate disaster, and post-apocalyptic anarchy. A related sci-fi scenario is that of Tokyo as a cybernetic organism, which merges seamlessly nature and technology, tradition and the future.
